The fact is that the ONLY way the TT can move to the side is if it also moves forward, something that can't happen unless the TV is braking or slowing down.
Minor point, but even when slowing down or braking, its still unlikely the trailer can move forward and pivot (assuming the brake controller is set aggressive enough).
Even when coasting to a stop (no brakes being applied), which is providing more wind-related stopping power, the trailer, or the truck? You guessed it - the trailer is. Sooooo, even when coasting to a stop, the tow vehicle is still 'pulling' on the trailer, so the lock-up is still there. Probably not as much, but its still there.
